  1. IEFC 2010 Workshop How to keep the PS operational for the next 25 years. 12-February-2010 R.Brown EN/MEF/ABA

  2. Content: • Magnets • Power Supplies PS and TT2 • RF • Septa and Kickers • Beam Instrumentation • Dumps and Collimators • Beam Interlocks • Warm Magnet Interlocks (WIC) • Tunnel Ventilation. • Magnet Cooling • Personnel Protection System • SU Machine Alignment • Cabling • Power Distribution • Maintainability • Radiation Protection Matters

  3. PS - Magnets • Over the last 5 years 51 main magnets + 4 spares were refurbished with new main coils and pole face windings including the repair of the yoke laminations. • Unless recurrent problems appear it is not considered necessary to refurbish the coils of the remaining 49 magnets. • However!

  4. PS - Magnets • The remaining 49 old PFW’s are the weak link. PFW’s cannot be repaired. Cannot be changed in situ. Break down during operation means a main magnet exchange with its spare. Normally a 4 – 5 day stop. It is certain that some or even many of the remaining PFW’s will not last the next 25 years. We should procure 50 sets of PFW’s in readiness for an increasing failure rate. The purchase of 30 sets is already approved. Purchase of the remaining 20 sets is under consideration. ~750 kCHF

  5. PS - Magnets • Other possible consolidation actions: The replacement of the main bus bars with new. This would require a considerable production program. A study is already in progress. Systematic reinforcement of main coil insulation to ground. This would require magnet removal from the machine and a complete magnet strip down. Replacement of the main coils with new. This is not considered for the moment a necessary option. New improved diagnostics may well identify issues that could change the present philosophy, but for the moment it is believed that the PS magnets can operate during the next 25 years with a very high level of reliability, provided that the present maintenance plan is pursued.

  7. PS - Auxiliary Magnets • All the auxiliary magnets except the fast bumper dipoles have been exchanged in the last ten years. • 90% of the Auxiliary magnets are of the type which can be split and replaced on the beam line in approximately 4 hours without vacuum intervention. • The fast bumper dipoles type 209 have captive chambers and require approximately 2 days to change. • The Magnets the most highly stressed are the Doublets type 406 and 408 which are pulsed at around 3 kV. They are 30 year old magnets and their condition needs to be established. • All auxiliary magnets have at least one spare and the procurement or in house manufacture of additional spares in case of need is not considered to be an issue.

  8. PS – Power Supplies • There are 192 Auxiliary Power supplies in the PS Ring. • 28 have been upgraded since 2000. • 164 range from 1969 to 1998. • 189 must be upgraded between 2015 and 2020. • Estimated cost at 2010 prices 2885 kCHF. • EPC_JP_Burnet_PS_Injecteurs+25ans_PS_Complex.xlsx • EPC_Y_Gaillard_Booster_Isolde_ZN_Conso_Estim+25years.xls

  9. PS – Auxiliary Power Supplies

  10. TT2 – Power Supplies • There are 31 Auxiliary Power supplies in TT2. • 14 have been upgraded since 2000. • 17 are >30 years. • 29 must be upgraded between 2015 and 2020. • Estimated cost at 2010 prices 4150 kCHF. • EPC_JP_Burnet_PS_Injecteurs+25ans_PS_Complex.xlsx

  11. TT2 – Power Supplies

  12. PS - RF • Issues • RF Bypasses • Tuning supply upgrade underway. • C10 Control electronics upgrade underway. • New 1-turn feedback in pipeline.(~250 kCHF) • Tomoscope upgrade underway. • Erk_Jensen_RF+25_Years.docx

  13. PS - RF • C10 upgrade with new drivers Tube YL1056 to be discontinued Study ~300 kCHF 11 New drivers ~2.2 MCHF Preferable to upgrade the whole systems which would be more expensive.

  14. PS - RF • Gap relays for C10 and C20: Continue to search for alternatives. • C10 ferrite cooling plates to be replaced. • C201 and C206 to be modernized ~200kCHF like the other 4. • Redesign of RF bypasses, estimated cost for new bypasses: 30 kCHF • Vacuum chamber flange clamps must be improved.

  15. PS - RF • Modernisation/generalisation of coupled-bunch feedback (should also include quadrupolar modes, e.g.), ~150 kCHF without a dedicated kicker • To be studied: Do we need an additional wide-band longitudinal kicker? (Like LEIR system, if required: ~1.5 MCHF) • Transverse FB to be made operational for MTE (2011, ~50 kCHF)

  16. PS - RF • Transverse FB power upgrade will be required around 2023:~210 kCHF. • C40 and C80: complete automatic tuning system for all 5 cavities. (Butterworth) • Major re-cabling to be foreseen ~1 MCHF

  17. PS – Septa • Design a new thinner Septum 16 for cleaner MTE extraction. • Maintain existing Septa configurations. • Maintain the spare septa. • Phase out Septum 31 as MTE becomes operational.

  18. PS - Kickers • BFA 9-21. Refurbish 21 as a spare for 9. Refurbish entrance boxes & TMR’s. Change HV cables. • DFA 242-254. Add 2 spare HV cables. • KFA4. Change transformer insulating fluid. • KFA13-21 No comments. • KFA 28. Change HV cables, build new HV switch.

  19. PS - Kickers • KFA45. Build one new spare module Refurbish 4 new TMR,s Refurbish HV switches and PFL gaskets KFA71. Refurbish tank and HV switches KFA79, Build 2 spare modules. Refurbish tank, TMR’s and HV switches Change HV 30 ohm cables

  20. PS - Kickers • Thyratrons Buy and store sufficient for the next 25 years. Single source supplier - could disappear. ABT_Laurent_Ducimetiere_PS+25years.xlsx

  21. PS - Beam Instrumentation • TMS Modernize acquisition 300 kCHF • BCTDC Monitor modifications plus new electronics 50 kCHF • 1000 turn Cabling plus new ATFA48 220 kCHF • BCTFR Cabling BTMTRA, ISO Transformer plus Acquisition Chain 160 kCHF • WCM 2 WCM’s and one fast scope 200 kCHF PU’s TFB and sensitive PU electronics 60 kCHF Total Approximately 990 kCHF Man power 220MM. BI_Lars_Soby_PS+25years.xlsx

  22. PS - Dumps and Collimators • Internal Beam Dumps 2 new spares are in consolidation. • Beam Stoppers Standard maintenance Replacement of components Spare situation ok. • Will the existing hardware sustain the eventual increased intensity from Linac4? • Oliver_Aberle_Copy_of_Liste_des_equipements+TCD+25years.XLS • Oliver_Aberle_Dumps_stoppers_slits+25years.doc

  23. PS - Beam Interlocks • Beam Interlocks as yet do not exist in the PS complex. • Foreseen to deploy BIS in Linac transfer lines to the Booster and Isolde in the framework of Linac4 installation. • For the PS ring, BIS is actively under consideration, possibly to be deployed together with the new access system. Budget and resources not known to date.

  24. PS - Warm Magnet Interlocks (WIC) • PS Interlocks have never been renovated. The spare situation is poor. The WIC environment could be implemented in the PS in a straight forward manner for an estimated 250 kCHF. • It is urgent that PS magnet interlock responsibilities are transferred to TE/MPE a.s.a.p.

  25. PS – Tunnel Ventilation. • Can the PS continue to run with the tunnel over atmospheric pressure? • Assuming no change. Replacement of the PS ventilation systems. With all the problems and cost that go with Asbestos. These systems are original and the pipes are in poor condition. Their replacement is essential! Long lead in time. Requires a firm planning and fixed execution date. PS could be done over 3 shutdowns of 3-4 months or all 8 stations in approximately 1/2 year. Serge_Deleval_CVreply +25years.doc

  26. PS – Magnet Cooling • For the 2 cooling stations of the PS main magnets and Central building for Auxiliary magnets: Replacement of the cooling towers, the valves, the control and electrical part and possibly replace several heat exchanger . • Change the reverse osmosis station for the production of demineralized water.

  27. PS – Personnel Protection System(PS-PPS) • The PPS project for the PS has started. First installation scheduled for 20011/12 shutdown. • Pierre_Ninin_PS_Personnel_Protection_System_+25years.doc

  28. 1. SU Work Needed in the PS Complex for the Next 25 Years PS-Ring: measure and align every 10 y = 2* 50kCHF 100kCHF PSB:measure and align every 10years + new network = 2*25kCHF +6kCHF 56kCHF Transfer lines LT, LTB, BI: check each line every 10y = 2*20kCHF 40kCHF Transfer lines BT, BTM, BTP, BTY: check each line every 10y = 2*30kCHF 60kCHF Transfer line FT16: check every 10y = 2*36kCHF 72kCHF FTA: check every 10y = 2*12.5kCHF 25kCHF Ion injector chain: check every 10y = 2*12.5kCHF 25kCHF F61, FTN: check each line every 5 y = 4*12kCHF 60kCHF AD: global check every 10y = 2*25kCHF 50kCHF Databases: introduction of GEODE data in LAYOUT and synchronisation 75kCHF Annual maintenance of all lines: 25*25kCHF 625kCHF TOTAL 1188 kCHF IEFC – ABP/SU contribution T. Dobers BE-ABP-SU 28 IEFC 10 - 12 February 2010

  29. PS – Cables • A new campaign is required to clean out old unused cables of which there are many in the PS. • Cable trays are overloaded and it is often difficult to find space. A study and cost estimate is required. It is a difficult and time consuming exercise and could be done during every shutdown in small steps.

  30. PS - Cables • The operational cables which are most at risk are those directly connected to equipment just meters from the beam line. Many of these may well need changing at least once in the next 25 years. Cables in the cable tunnels away from the radiation do not degrade, even cables installed on the walls just 3m from the beam line show negligible signs of radiation damage. • Many old cables subjected to UV and weather on the cable trays outside are damaged and need to be replaced. A study and cost estimate is required.

  31. PS - Cabling • In building 355 the old auxiliary magnet cabling needs to be removed including the isolation drawers. This was done in building 365 in 2008/9 with new cabling right up to the magnets which should be good for the next 25 years.

  32. PS – Power Distribution • Low Voltage 400/240V. Including: switchboards, racks, canalis, UPS, safety lighting, old equipment removal, cabling of new equipment, on site work tooling and controls = 14MCHF. • High Voltage 18kV. Renovation of 3 substations (ME16, ME49 and M76) + Isolde loop splitting: 1,3 MCHF • Power Transformers • Changing 17 of 46 transformers: 0,8 MCHF. • Electrical+25years+Francois_Duval.doc • EL_+25years_Francois_Duval.xlsx

  33. PS - Maintainability • Radiation is the largest threat to reliability and maintainability. MTE must work. Every effort to reduce losses must be encouraged. Any changes which will result in increased losses must be discouraged. • Vacuum flange clamping must be improved to reduce intervention time. Hard earned experience on 5 septa exchanges in 2009/10.

  34. PS - Radiation Protection Matters The ventilation system must be renovated to modern standards (dynamic depression of tunnel, air extraction at defined points) All shielding must be reviewed (Route Goward passage needs shielding) The use of the PS centre-of ring must be determined (likely no office space) A state-of-the art BLM system would help to detect (and then reduce) beam loss All interventions in the PS for repair and upgrade will have a significant “cost” in personal dose

  35. Vacuum A report is in preparation for the injector chain First “estimate” Operation to 2022 replace 50-70% of system hardware Operation to 2035 replace 100% SPS Spares (windows in target areas?) TIDVG upgrade MKE? Any major consolidation campaign (ABT, MSC, RF etc…) would involve a lot of vacuum activity LHC Performance Workshop Chamonix January 2010
